The purpose of this study was to determine which type of physical education class activity helped sixth grade students best meet or exceed the goal of spending at least fifty percent of class time in the target heart rate zone.
Research Questions The research question asked which physical education class, aerobics, team sports, or student choice activities result in sixth grade students spending the largest percentage of class time in the target heart rate zone. A secondary question asked whether or not current cardiovascular fitness levels impact the amount of time students spend in the target heart zone in the three different types of classes.
